Christmas Cookies - Peppermint Bark

Making bark is an easy thing to do it you want to make something to bring to someone's house at the holidays.  It is also a great filler in your cookie tin.  This recipe is also great for people who have gluten intolerance.  Simple, easy and pretty.

Ingredients:

2 pounds of white chocolate
1 cup crushed candy canes
tsp peppermint extract

Here's how:

Combine the chocolate and extract into a microwave safe bowl. 



Heat for 30 seconds at a time, taking out and mixing after each 30 seconds.  Continue this way until the chocolate is melted. 



Once it is all melted, add the candy canes.



Pour the mix onto a cookie sheet covered with foil, parchment or a silicone mat.  Spread into an even layer.



Let cool completely. 

Break into pieces.  I use a zip top bag and hit it with a meat mallet.
